ChristianDK's original post introduces the F.P. Journe Chronomètre Furtif Bleu, a unique piece created for Only Watch 2023. This article delves into the watch's distinctive features, such as its full Tantalum construction and the innovative Calibre 1522 movement. It explores why this particular F.P. Journe creation captivated the WatchProSite community and what makes it a significant horological statement.




Geneva - June 29, 2023 - For its fifth participation in Only Watch, F.P.Journe presents a unique model designed exclusively for the occasion, the Chronomètre Furtif Bleu.

For the first time in the world, a complete Tantalum case and bracelet dress this unique watch made especially for Only Watch, with an 18K rose Gold movement.

The Chronomètre Furtif takes its name from the difficulty of reading the time if the watch is not facing you, as the blue enamel dial reveals the frosted numerals only in the reflection of light. Also, the moon phase and power reserve indications are integrated into the movement and visible only on the back. It is therefore a watch whose indications can be enjoyed only by its owner.

At the heart of this watch is a new hand-wound mechanical movement, Calibre 1522 in 18K rose Gold with direct central seconds, a first for F.P.Journe.

AL&S can take a back seat to this movement. Unreal.

a hard time reading that dial. That’s ok though, because I wouldn’t be buying it anyway 😄

But with the previous auction results I suspect it will be way out of my price range.

I love that little moon phase keeping the dial clear.

I love the concept of having a variation of the CB on a full tantalum bracelet. But the most impressive aspect is the new movement. The power reserve is a very nice addition, and the overall symmetry of the movement is very eye pleasing. I'm hopeful this new movement will find its way into a regular production piece. Chapeau to Mr. Journe for always innovating and never resting on his laurels.
